News

Holds from our office on your student Esther account may be a student health hold, a vaccine hold or a health data hold.

The student health hold will be for equipment (crutches, blood pressures monitors, etc) checked out that is overdue. Please bring back your equipment or call to make payment to have the hold released.

The ME hold is the hold for the health data form. This will be in place until your health data form is COMPLETE.

The VA hold is the hold for the meningitis vaccine. This will be in place until you have provided documentation of the vaccine (if under 22).

See the information below for how to check your holds or consult the registrar.

SPRING 2015

Health Services will be OPEN during spring recess on April 2 and 3 from 8am to 2pm.

Note: A student does not have to be enrolled in the Rice sponsored Aetna insurance plan to utilize the services at Student Health. Student Health does not file or bill insurance.

New students- How to check your health data form or vaccine hold:

* Login to ESTHER* Select "Student Services & Account Information"* Select "Student Records & Account Information"* Select "View Holds"* Confirm that there isn't a ME - Student Health Services Hold or a VA - Vaccination Hold. The ME hold means your Health Data Form has not been received or it's incomplete. The VC hold means proof of your meningococcal meningitis vaccination has not been received. * If you have other holds on your account, consult the Holds page at http://registrar.rice.edu/students/holds/. Please note that all new students have an "Honor Code Affirmed" hold on their account that will be resolved during orientation.

Please allow time for your forms to arrive in the mail and then add 3 or more business days (more during peak times) prior to checking on hold status.
